I do not see the beard. I think he is too young to shave.

Up yours with an egg beater. DW_a_mom was a better and harder working mod than I ever was. Not that people like you give a flying one, regardless of whether or not you are a troll/sockpuppet.
Thats just your opinion. My opinion is mod's should stay neutral. Especially on a site for people on the spectrum. I don't know if she did or not, but from what i've seen, its hard to believe.
Excuse me? Your opinion on her seems to be based, assuming that you are not a troll or sockpuppet, on just under two months of observation. I have worked for her for over a year. My opinion of her abilities and qualities as a moderator would surely be much better grounded in reality than your opinion. And what experience, pray, do you have as a moderator? I'm willing to bet that it is SFA.
Our decisions were never made lightly. We did not ban until it was completely necessary. Any sockpuppets of banned members were, and should still be, banned upon discovery and confirmation. Because banning should be forever. Those who get banned had their chances, but they abused them.
My suggestion to you, if you do not know what you're talking about, is to cease and desist. All you are succeeding in doing is attracting the wrong kind of attention to yourself.
No not just that, also what i've heard on other sites. Wasn't it you who banned people for having something negative to say about a journal of yours or something? I don't know if thats true. So yeah, you know DW better than me, but if you banned people for that, then I don't really trust your opinion. I don't think experience is important. I've seen some "experienced" mods on other sites, that were just biased to people they liked.
From what I heard, thats not the case. If a couple of mods weren't really fit to be in the position, then banned or deleted profiles, then they might have been treated unfairly.
Thanks for the advice.
Lets be real. Mother Teresa could moderate here and get talked smack about at other sites. People have this bad habit of not being able to see their own errors, while greatly exaggerating those of others. Hence, when censored, they rarely feel it is "fair." I twisted and turned a million ways to keep people's memberships in tact here, and to respect their unique personalities, but it still wasn't possible to make everyone happy. I have read things on other forums that I take seriously, and things I don't. I'm boring and vanilla and sometimes actually believe the nice things other people say to me, to the detriment of keeping a humble tone in certain dealings: those I'll take on; I think they fit. But unfair or making final decisions by ego or emotion - never. You have no idea how I agonized over every negative decision I had to make, to be sure there was absolutely no alternative. If a poster can't get me to give them rope, odds are super good that they aren't going to get it from anyone, anywhere, anytime.
I wasn't attacking you anywhere in that post by the way
so sorry if it seemed like that. I don't know what you were like as a mod. I'm not sure people should be censored, not really sure how that helps anyone, let alone aspies. I appreciate what you've said there anyway. I was harsh to say i'm glad you're not a mod anymore. Sorry about that.

Oops. We need to place principles before personalities here.
@murphycop: Mods are told to not publicly discuss specific mod actions here, so you really need to stop challenging even a former mod. Please!
